BIELSKO-BIALA, POLAND PERFORMANCE 2004

I annointed myself with water filling an upturned statue of Jesus Christ whilst I put on Jewish pants (IN NOMINE PATRE - in the name of the Father), Christian Robes (ET FILIUS - and of the Son), Muslim Hijab (ET SPIRITUS SANCTI - and of the Holy Spirit).

I sawed the statue in half.

I placed each part of clothing with a body part of Christ and with a vessel containing water that had filled the statue.

IN NOMINE PATRE, ET FILIUS, ET SPIRITUS SANCTI. AMEN.

This performance in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, related to the 17th century Racovian Heresy. The Unitarian doctrine that Christ is just a man. As opposed to the Trinitarian view that God, the Holy Spirit and Christ are one. Views of God divided Christians and led to their persecution (e.g. of the Racovians in Poland and Unitarians who fled to the USA) and divide Monotheistic religions (Judaism, Islam and Christianity) today. All remain part of one body.
